  1. Instructions

    Instructions:

    Preheat and Prepare:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan to ensure easy removal of the banana loaf.

    1. Mash Bananas:
    In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.

    2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
    Add melted butter, vanilla extract, and buttermilk to the mashed bananas. Mix well.

    3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

    4. Add Eggs and Sugar:
    Beat the eggs and sugar together in a small bowl. Add this mixture to the banana batter and mix until smooth.

    5. Fold in Crushed Oreos:
    Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.

    6. Bake:
    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    7. Cool and Serve:
    Allow the Oreo Banana Loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve for a delightful treat!

    Tips for Success: Ripe Bananas: Use ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor. They are sweeter and contribute to the moistness of the loaf. Oreo Crunch: For a chunkier texture, reserve some crushed Oreos to sprinkle on top of the batter before baking. Buttermilk Substitute: If you don't have buttermilk, mix 1/2 cup of milk with 1/2 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.

Note

Here are some additional tips to help you make the most out of your Oreos Banana Bread:

  1. Use ripe bananas: Ensure your bananas are ripe for the best flavor and sweetness. Overripe bananas with brown spots are ideal as they are easier to mash and provide a richer flavor to the bread.

  2. Crush Oreos evenly: When crushing the Oreos, aim for small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the bread. You can crush them in a plastic bag using a rolling pin or pulse them briefly in a food processor.

  3. Adjust sweetness: Depending on your preference, you can adjust the sweetness of the bread by altering the amount of sugar used. If you prefer a sweeter bread, you can increase the sugar slightly, but keep in mind that the Oreos also contribute sweetness.

  4. Don't overmix: Be careful not to overmix the batter once you've added the dry ingredients. Overmixing can lead to a tough texture in the final bread. Mix until just combined to avoid this.

  5. Grease the loaf pan properly: Ensure the loaf pan is properly greased or lined with parchment paper to prevent the bread from sticking. This will make it easier to remove the bread from the pan after baking.

  6. Let it cool completely: Allow the banana bread to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps the bread to set properly and prevents it from crumbling when sliced.

  7. Store properly: Store any leftover banana bread in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap to maintain its freshness. You can also freeze individual slices for longer-term storage.

  8. Serve with toppings: Get creative with serving by adding toppings like a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or extra crushed Oreos on top of each slice for added indulgence.

Calories: The calorie content of one slice of Oreos Banana Bread will vary depending on the specific ingredients used. On average, one slice is approximately 250-300 calories.
